Gibson SG
The original red or black Guitar Hero controller is short on features and connects to the console using a cable. While it's pretty basic overall, it gets the job done. It helped to propel the franchise to the level of popularity it has today.
Gibson Les Paul
This wireless controller, packaged with Guitar Hero III, is based on the famous Gibson guitar model used by guitarists such as Slash from Guns n' Roses, who is also a character in the game. Along with an interchangeable pick guard, this controller is a step above the ones that came before it.
Aerosmith Guitar
Bundled with Guitar Hero: Aerosmith, this controller is much like the wireless guitar packaged with Guitar Hero III. However, this version has exclusive graphics that represent the band, making it perfect for any Aerosmith fan.
World Tour Guitar
Taking the wireless capabilities of the Guitar Hero III Les Paul and running with it, the Guitar Hero: World Tour guitar completely redesigned the contoller. Featuring a new slider-touch bar for tapping solos, exclusive to World Tour, the guitar received a new, incredibly responsive strum bar. It also features a sunburst finish and an interchangeable faceplate.
Guitar Hero 5 Guitar
With a look very similar to the guitar included with Guitar Hero: World Tour, the Guitar Hero 5 guitar offers an abundance of improvements. Featuring synthetic chrome tuners, a redesigned strum bar and a digital touch strip, it is designed to be the most responsive controller yet.
Third-Party Guitars
Along with officially licensed controllers, you also can choose from an assortment of third-party guitars. It's a matter of getting what you pay for, as these are likely to be less responsive than an official guitar. Before you invest in a third-party guitar, read the online reviews of them. Remember to check to make sure that the guitar is compatible with your version of the game.
